At the battalion headquarters of the Datong Independent Battalion, the reconnaissance platoon commander rushed in with an excited face: "Regiment commander, battalion commander, when we were clearing mines, the Jin Sui Army went out of the city to find us, saying that they would negotiate with us, let them leave Hunyuan City, and withdraw from our base area." ”

"Commander, it's done!" Huang Sheng's face blossomed with joy when he heard this.

has been fighting wits and courage with Jin Suijun for so long, for the scene in front of him.

Hurriedly asked: "Commander, do you want me to go over and test their ideas first, and then decide whether to talk about it or not." ”

"Anyway, they have been trapped by us in Hunyuan City, and they can't move, so it's a big deal to dry them for two more days, and they will be hungry."

Li Hao shook his head: "There's no need for that." ”

"Judging from the time, the food sent to Hunyuan City last time should have been almost eaten."

"The vigor of the Jin Sui army in the city has been almost consumed by us, and we can't find a way to break the situation, so we can only negotiate with us."

"Lao Huang, you go to the front line now and bring the negotiators of the Jin Suijun here, and I will negotiate with them personally."

"In addition, count the number of Jin Sui soldiers we have captured during this time, how many ordinary soldiers, how many cavalry, how many artillerymen, and what rank they are, all of them will be listed and sent to Xiao Yuan, the more detailed the better."

"In addition, the Jin Sui army who agreed to join our Eighth Route Army should not be counted, they are already our own people."

An hour later, a colonel and two lieutenant colonels were taken by Huang Sheng to the battalion headquarters conference room.

The other party was obviously very anxious, and when he saw Li Hao, he got straight to the point: "Commander Li, I am the chief of staff of the division, and I negotiate with your army on behalf of our division commander." ”

"As long as your army makes way outside the city and provides us with 20,000 catties of food, we will withdraw from Hunyuan County tomorrow, evacuate your army's base area, and return to Datong."

In the past, the Jin Sui Army had always been high and arrogant in the face of the Eighth Route Army, and he did not look at the Eighth Route Army in his eyes.

Including the last time they negotiated to decide on the ownership of Datong City, they also had this attitude at the beginning.

It was not until the Eighth Route Army demonstrated its strong strength through demonstrations that their negotiation momentum was slowly suppressed by the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as the negotiations began today, they stated their goals for the first time in history with a posture of begging for mercy.

also further affirmed everyone's previous judgment: the Jin Sui army in the city has really reached a critical moment of life and death.

But Li Hao was not satisfied with this result.

The soldiers and civilians in the base area paid such a big price in exchange for today's victory, if they didn't get anything, they were let go so easily, who would pay for the house that they burned down a few days ago?

Without hesitation, he refused: "Hunyuan City, did our Eighth Route Army invite your army to come?" ”

"Now that you're leaving, let's send food, when our Eighth Route Army is easy to bully?"

"If I'm not mistaken, during the time your army entered our base area, a total of 26 villages were burned, a total of 5,186 houses, these houses are the only homes of the villagers, and now they have been burned by you, you must give the villagers an explanation, otherwise don't want to leave our base area easily."

"As for 20,000 catties of grain, I can give it to you, but the food of our Eighth Route Army is all snatched from the Japanese, and every grain contains the blood of the soldiers, which is very precious."

"You can, but you have to pay for it."

Hearing Li Hao say that he still had to buy 20,000 catties of grain, the chief of staff immediately surged into his heart.

I didn't want to lose face, so I asked directly: "Commander Li, if I'm not mistaken, we sent grain to Hunyuan City three times, and all the grain left on the road on the way should have been taken away by your army, adding up to at least 250,000 catties." ”

"You took away 250,000 catties of grain from us, and we only let you return 20,000 catties, is this too much?"

Not to be outdone, Li Hao asked: "Chief of Staff Zhang, who told you that the grain was taken away by our Eighth Route Army?" ”

"Tell you, in order to avoid a conflict between the two armies, our Eighth Route Army has been retreating from your army, how far and how far we retreat, and if we don't come into direct contact with you, how can we find the food left by your army on the road?"

"It should be taken by the Japanese puppet army spies, after Datong was captured by our army, a large number of Japanese puppet army spies entered our base area."

"Especially Hunyuan, because of its proximity to Datong, has become the first choice for spies, during this time, our garrison regiment alone has captured more than 100 people, and three arsenals have been attacked, throwing thousands of mines."

"In the past few days, the mines that were suddenly buried outside the official road and Hunyuan City were all their handiwork."

"They must have taken all your food."

The chief of staff knew that Li Hao was talking nonsense, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Although I knew in my heart that all this was directed and acted out by the Eighth Route Army, there was no evidence in my hand.

No matter how unwilling he was, he could only admit it, gritted his teeth and asked: "Okay, let's buy it, buy 20,000 catties of grain at one time, and pay the money with one hand and deliver it with the other." ”

"Then I will ask the troops to prepare 10,000 catties of grain for your army now, and 10 catties of grain for an ocean, a total of 1,000 oceans!" Li Hao replied with a smile.

The chief of staff's eyes widened again, and anger surged up: "A piece of ocean only buys ten catties of grain, why don't you grab it?" ”

Li Hao's expression was not shocked, and he replied to the chief of staff's angry gaze: "I just said that every grain of our Eighth Route Army was snatched back from the Japanese puppet army by the soldiers with blood, and it is worth this price. ”

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it, if you don't want to buy it, forget it, we will not force your army to buy grain from us."

The chief of staff knew that this was the Eighth Route Army looking for an opportunity to kill itself, but there was nothing he could do.

Under the eaves, the man had to bow his head and replied stubbornly: "Just buy it at this price, pay the money outside the city and deliver it with one hand." ”

Li Hao nodded and continued to ask: "What about the more than 5,000 houses outside the city that were burned down by you?" ”

"This!" The chief of staff was in a dilemma.

I thought that this negotiation would go smoothly, and the Eighth Route Army knew that everyone was going to retreat, so they would definitely applaud and agree immediately.

didn't think that Li Hao didn't play cards according to the routine at all.

Although he wanted Jin Suijun to leave the base as soon as possible, he just didn't let go.

also took out a negotiation posture to bargain with himself for compensation, which was too unexpected.

So they didn't even think about the burning houses.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to probe Li Hao's tone first: "How much compensation does your army want?" ”

"A private house is 30 oceans, and more than 5,000 private houses, you can give us 150,000 oceans in compensation."

Li Hao has already found the essence of negotiation, first the lion opens his mouth, and then he can bargain.

There were less than 3,000 houses in the base area that were actually burned down, and Li Hao shouted more than 2,000 yuan, and raised the compensation of 20 yuan to 30 yuan for each set, just to make a fortune and leave a little room for the other party to bargain.
